So shock isn’t really precisely the ideal word to explain the response to Mr Trump’s at first messed up effort to inform Theresa May to, in result, mind her own company. This is simply another example of the United States president’s self-described “modern-day governmental” usage of social networks, where Twitter is a cudgel for score-settling no matter the diplomatic expense.
